End of Era .. Swansong
May 20, 2008
So, the final party was a bit wild and messy.
One of the neighbours (overlooking from James St) came up and said, “i don’t usually complain about your parties .. because you’re finished by one or two .. but last Saturday was just too much”.
“i agree,” i replied, “it was awful”.
Kept going ’til dawn; people thrashing away in the music room and chattering drunkenly. We imagine that there’s a cone of silence around our little rustic village castle, because people never complain. But no.
“oh, if it was your swansong .. i guess it’s okay,” said the neighbour when i told her we were moving out. And got back on her bike.
Now i have temporary housing in Barkly St Coburg (phew!)…
will start looking again when i can muster the energy.
Thanks so much to all who came along, much appreciated!!
